Hi sky753,

There are some words concerning the matter in question:

The Christian Life Movement (CLM) was founded in 1985, in Peru. At that time a number of initiatives from members of the Sodalitium Christianae Vitae, now a Society of Apostolic Life, had already begun to bloom.
Christian Life Movement members who participate in Pro-Life have felt a calling to promote the sexual ethic which springs from the faith of the Church and is taught by the Magisterium. Members of this service promote, encourage and defend the Christian way of living sexuality, and respect for human life, from its conception until its natural death.
